OK, first off, this thread is going to take some time to catch itself back up. A lot of what you are going to see happened months ago and huge changes have been made, which you will see in later posts. I initially wanted to keep the factory HU, but that changed as you will see. So armed with that knowledge, here has been the install progress so far:
Pretty much a full day doing this stuff, but it was a LOT of fun. The Lexus comes apart really easy. Ok, enough about the car. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I decided to install my tweets and see what options I have as far as mids are concerned. The tweeters that are in it are TINY neo's (0.75" neo's). The cars come factory with an amplifier in the back and I decided to use the factory wiring.
I had to modify the Morel MDT12 by shaving ALL of the flange off or it wouldn't fit.
Oh, hey, wait a minute, let's do this in order: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Door panel removed:
The cool thing about the tiny 4.5" speaker in the door is that it has its own ported enclosure from the factory.
Here's a comparison of the factory mid and the Audax Aerogel:
And the Audax by itself:
I made baffles out of 3/4" plywood to adapt over my 5.25" Audax Aerogel's. While making the baffle I had to recess the screws that were going to hold the baffle to the existing enclosure. I also had to flatten the baffle and the 5.25" mid in order for the door pannel to go back on.
